Are you asking which switch to set to arm/disarm, or how to set it up?

That's also normal. From an earlier comment I made: You will hit "fatigue" point where all your movements get bigger and all your mistakes are amplified. That what is happening after 2-3 flights. Take a breather...your brain is getting fatigued. :)

Up to you on the batteries. My guess is you're getting 15-17 minutes on the stock ones. If you're content with that, I'd hold off on investing in more stock ones (I think you have about 3 now?) until you start getting good and want to make what quad scream a bit. At that point, you can find...

If you can kick in an extra $38, I'd buy the Eachine VR Dr Pro goggles. I believe they are on sale on Banggood right now for $79.99. Good goggles for the price and have some range and features you won't get with the VR007's.

You'll find with the quad you're flying that once you progress in flying skills you will be able to fly in that wind without any issues. The difference is you will be flying in high rate and with authority. The Bugs 3 will do well in 15-20 mph wind when you're flying at higher power and getting...

Looks good, Roger. Keep us posted on how it's going with the XSP. I like Autel a lot. They're producing quality quads and I hope they gain some market share and keep competing with DJI.

No...I was in fact referring to a balance charger like the iMax B6. You're not dense - batteries, connector types, and charging are a bit bewildering when you're getting started. The only way you're gong to use the Bugs 3 stock charger is to charge one Bugs 3 battery at a time, and it will not...

Yeah, I was trying to do the KISS explanation. I deleted a long paragraph about what a balance charger is doing in the first part of the charging cycle versus the last part, and why they take longer than a standard charge cycle, etc. I shoulda known one of the more technical guys would give me a...

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. :D

The fully charged cells should be at 4.2 volts. Fully discharged is going to depend on the battery warning on the Bugs 3 and how long you fly it after you start hearing the low voltage warning. I don't remember offhand, but I want to say my Bugs 3 on 2S batteries would be at about 3.5V when I...

Actually, if you're wanting to shoot true 4K, you're right to be cautious. I didn't think about it, since I don't shoot in 4K, but most of the GoPro clones (including the SJCam 5000x I mentioned) capture interpolated 4K, not native 4K video. However, if you truly plan on shooting 4K video be...

No charger manufacturer will recommend using a charging board, since it's a possible point of failure they can't control that is hooked to their product. The plug on a parallel charging board plugs into the 6S balance charge connection port on the charger and the Dean's "T" connector on the...

I'd look for a good source of props and replace those. No matter what you do they will be out of balance. The props are the same ones on the Hubsan H501s, and you will probably find them easier and cheaper by searching that way.

The SJ Cams are also good options. I have an SJ5000x that I've been very happy with.

The X5 is the Volkswagen Beetle of quadcopters. Call it whatever you want, but it taught a lot of people to fly quads. Mine sits unashamed among the other more expensive, more sophisticated quads and still gets plenty of air time. :D

Definitely not normal. You're the first person I know to have these issues with the Bugs 3 motors, but I'd be ordering a replacement for that one. Sorry you're having the motor issues. I never hesitate to recommend this quad, but Chinese manufacturers' quality assurance sometimes leaves a bit...

All you need is a parallel charging board and adapters from the board connector to any kind of battery you want to charge. An example is here: https://www.amazon.com/RCmall-Parallel-Battery-Charging-Board/dp/B01ALPMXMG/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1508936885&sr=8-11&keywords=parallel+charging+board...

We are opposites. I try to love building time, but I just want to fly! And what was the issue with the Flysky range? That Tx may not have the range of some of its competitors, but it should have more than enough to get you in trouble....

Nice work!

If so, motors aren't too expensive. Jackson is right, you skipped a step or so going to that quad, but it needn't cause you too much pain. If you can find one of the Bayangtoys X9's he linked, it will be a good step. You don't have to fly only one, and you don't have to only enjoy the most...
